ICEfaces is an integrated Ajax Java application framework that enables Java EE Ajax application developers to easily create and deploy thin-client rich Internet applications (RIA) in pure Java. ICEfaces is a fully featured product that enterprise developers can use to develop new or existing Java EE Ajax applications at no cost.
ICEfaces leverages the entire standards-based Java EE ecosystem of tools and execution environments. Rich enterprise application features are developed in pure Java, and in a pure thin-client model. There are no Applets or proprietary browser plug-ins required. ICEfaces applications are JavaServer Faces (JSF) applications, so Java EE application development skills apply directly, and Java developers are isolated from doing any JavaScript related development.
The benefits of using ICEfaces to enrich enterprise web applications are numerous:
